| 1. Camouflage your flaws. |
|
|
We all know candlelight makes us look better, though
it won't transform us into Cindy Crawford (unfortunately). It can, however,
turn a less-than-perfect house into one that seems cozy and glam. If the
party is last-minute, or if the maid has the day off, or if frankly, you
just have better things to do than clean, just dim the lights and rely on
candlepower to make everything glow. When guests arrive, hand them a glass
of champagne or a cocktail and lead them into a living room flickering with
votives, tapers, and pillars. They'll be so enchanted that they won't
notice the bookshelf you forgot to dust. But of course, leave the scented
candles out of the dining room. The aromatic combination of salmon and
patchouli? Not so appetizing.
